I WISH I weighed 190. Ugh! It's amazing how acceptable it is to be cruel about a woman's weight. When I was in high school, I was at my ideal weight until I got mono. I lost 16 pounds. When I returned to school, I got so much attention for how "great" I looked. I HAD BEEN SICK! Being young, vain and impressionable, I worked like hell to keep that 16 pounds off and perhaps lose a little more. It was ridiculous. This is the kind of stuff I really worry about with my girls. I don't want them to feel like their weight equals their worth. <em>Leslie's last blog post..<a href='http://mymommysplace.com/blog/2008/03/22/my-radical-little-feminist/'>My Radical Little Feminist</a></em> 190?

That is one of the main reasons I get turned off those trashy magazines.

After having Carter I AVOIDED functions where I would see people from my past. I was so scared of the looks and reactions to my weight gain. I still feel that way sometimes. It's really awful. And yes... there is FAR more concentration on being FAT then the health issues of eating disorders. It's so flipping' f'd up. Natalie: I so know what you mean.

It really chaps my hide that you see so much of an issue being made about the problems that come with being overweight, yet very little about the problems that come with, oh, I dunno, ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA. Those are two very real problems in our society that are caused by the very thing you talk about. I'm sure you already know that designers choose the thinnest models they can find because they make clothes to look good on a hanger, not a real person. It's ridiculous. I am probably pushing 200 myself and I feel like a big, fat slob who doesn't even deserve to be in the company of friends because I'm so embarrassed. I'm working hard on losing it but I just should not feel so uncomfortable about myself. You are so right, those magazines aren't making it any easier. Ugh, it makes me sick, too.

I just want to shake her and tell her she is a beautiful young lady and that doesn't have anything to do with what she weighs. We all tell her she is skin and bones, she is almost as tall as I am and I outweigh her by quite a bit. I want to lose weight, I have gained 40 pounds since I got married 20 years ago, but it has more to do with health than looks. My husband thinks I am beautiful the way I am. Or atleast it seems that way, considering every time I say diet, he comes in with candy. <em>justmylife's last blog post..<a href='http://justmylife-mygripespot.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-wonderful-day-in-neighborhood.html'>It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!</a></em> My 8 year old, who is all of 50 pounds, keeps telling me how fat she is, how she needs to diet, needs to exercise.

My absolute favorite subject. I can't tell you the last time I was on the scale. I judge by whether my pants feel the same or not, and lately it's been yes, so that's good. The roll above the waistband is kind of a drag on most days, but it doesn't stop me from cooking up a storm and enjoying what I cook. I don't get any complaints from my hunkster, either. So w00t! Sam. Amen! Oh, and way cute wrapper on the old blogster, girl. Could you give me lessons, please?
